About this data
This page measures the median translation lag, in days, between when a quote first appears on Wikiquote in its source language and when the same quote is added in each target language. It also reports the standard deviation of those lags to show the spread of translation times. The figures are derived automatically from the revision histories of Wikiquote pages, comparing timestamps of the original quote entry and each subsequent language version.
Understanding translation lag highlights which quotes spread quickly across linguistic communities and which remain relatively obscure, offering insight into the dynamics of cultural diffusion on a collaborative platform.
